I recently replaced the pressure tank with a ruptured bladder (yay, no more short cycling.) My pump is about 27 years old. Hopefully I can get at least another 10 years out of it (it used to provide water to the house, but now it's simply used for occasional irrigation.)
When I eventually do have to replace the thing, I was wondering if I could replace the pump with a pump that doesn't have a drive line. I have a STA-RITE model ALC-30. I've attached a pdf that shows the installation configuration that was used. https://app.box.com/s/2hku9g3m8a8lqpagdmip
For some reason installation configuration G was used instead of configuration D like most of my neighbors have. Is the drive line essential?
